Ensign Bus Christmas & New Year Buses

Most of our services will be running normally over the festive period to allow our customers to travel across the c2c route, but there will be earlier last train times on Christmas Eve and other timetable changes due to the bank holidays. We advise customers to plan ahead, check travel details, and stay flexible.
